Hello all, OK Here goes.
Hope this isn't too long but sorry if it is. Went to a new gyn cause of ins. change. Did hormone blood test and i am post menopausal. I told him I've been having what amounts to a regularRegular insulin period every 9 months or so for the past 3 years. My old gyn didn't seem concerned just said i have to go a year before i'm considered post menopausal. Well, this guy seems very thorough. He ordered a transvaginalTransvaginal ultrasound ultrasound which they said was normalNormal saline flush but he wanted to do D & C for bleeding. I thought it was just from transitioning to menopause. Anyway scheduled D & C went for pre op and they called to tell me couldn't do surgery cause hcg was 7 indicative of pregnancy and i just laughed cause there was no way I was pregnant unless we were going to have another Jesus. So they repeated test 1 week later. Still borderlineBorderline personality disorder. Then he consulted with a very good gyn onc who said to do more tests. Took a pee preg test was negative. Had thyroid liver and beta hcg quant tests done. He then informed me it was ok to do D & C. I was confused so i asked him if he was doing it for bleeding or what and he said my lining or something was 26 and he likes it to be under 24 but if i wanted to wait a couple of months and redo tvu i could. I said to go ahead and get it done would rather be safeSafe driving for teens Safe sex than sorry but i didn't know what the 26 number was. figured it was uterineDysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub) Endometrial cancer Fetal heart and uterine contraction monitor Intrauterine device Intrauterine growth restriction Normal uterine anatomy (cut section) Uterine anatomy Uterine fibroids Uterine prolapse lining but with what i looked up my number is very large. Also fyi last period was aug 08 and before that oct 07 b4 that july. Does any 1 understand any of this? Thank you in advance. Oh my pap was fine also. Have never had any trouble except for a couple of abnormal paps but they never needed to do anything after repeat. Thanks again.
Any bleeding after menopause needs to be checked out. I think since you still have questions you need answers.....I would request an apt with the gyn/oncologist to see what he thinks.
Good luck.
Peace.
